Contrarian investors should be wary of high optimism, not embrace it. That’s easier said than done, especially after Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) delivered decent quarterly results and published strong-looking guidance. The problem is that the market’s enthusiasm has, most likely, already been priced into Qualcomm stock. Furthermore, as we’ll see, there’s been ultra-positive chatter in the financial media about Qualcomm’s

Ford (NYSE:F) delivered respectable first-quarter results that missed Wall Street’s top line expectations and beat bottom-line forecasts. The automaker also kept its full-year guidance in place, leaving the market holding its breath about where Ford stock heads next. The auto industry isn’t running as strong as it once was, and government electric vehicle mandates keep

You’ve heard about meme stocks, but have you heard of meme funds? With the Destiny Tech100 (NYSE:DXYZ) fund, you can diversify your portfolio into unusual, high-risk assets. It’s not something you want to allocate too much of your capital towards, but audacious investors might want to give DXYZ stock a try. I’m calling it a

In case you hadn’t noticed, the U.S. government is the most powerful governing body on the planet. Right or wrong, our government’s influence reaches far and wide, touching nearly every aspect of our lives. As citizens in this country, we have to live with these decisions, for better or worse. While politicians often get it

Will the demand for artificial intelligence personal computers explode in 2024 and 2025? And, will Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) stock generate massive revenue from AI-compatible PC sales? The market seems to think so, and they’ve already sent DELL stock soaring. Consequently, eager investors need to be cautious now. Before you make any judgments, be sure to

Electric vehicle maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) successfully established itself as a premium brand within the China market. It differentiated itself from rival EV companies by creating a battery-swap business to serve as an alternative to charging. Yet vehicle margins are narrowing and NIO stock remains a loss-generating company. It is looking to sell its EVs in

Dividend investors seek stocks with the highest yields, solid earnings and cash flow to support them. However, not all stocks that offer high dividends have the financial performance to sustain them, and they may have to cut the return. These three stocks offer higher-than-average yields but have warranted caution over the last quarter and coming

I always get nervous when Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock falls because it’s such a big component of Elon Musk’s wealth. And given I have such a large following on X, I certainly don’t want to see risks to the platform I have the most reach on. Objectively though, it seems possible that Tesla could roundtrip all

If the AI boom is real, it must go beyond Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), and there logically should be multi-baggers yet to come. And it could be the case that Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) becomes the next major beneficiary. Micron crushed earnings as apparent from its beat yesterday. Memory and storage solutions critical for AI applications are the

Indicating that growth stocks are in the initial stages of a hot comeback, the iShares Russell 2000 (NYSEARCA:IWM), whose movements are largely determined by growth stocks, is up nearly 5% year-to-date. Moreover, on March 20, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Summary of Economic projections indicated that the central bank still intends to cut its benchmark rate

You can love it or you can hate it. Either way, it’s hard not to have an opinion about electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Currently, the prevailing sentiment is very negative about TSLA stock. If you’re a true contrarian investor, though, then now’s a great time to pick up some Tesla shares. Granted, it might be difficult

With spring right around the corner, homebuyers anticipate a busy season fueled by potential economic boosts, including anticipated interest rate cuts. People might also shift focus to house hunting, which almost every American looks forward to because prices might be more discounted at this time of the year. Real estate agents suggest Super Bowl weekend

Is Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) in perfect financial condition right now? The answer is: definitely not. On the other hand, Archer Aviation can be forgiven for being a “work in progress.” When you see the progress that this flying-taxi specialist has made, you’ll surely want to hold ACHR stock this year.  Just to recap, Archer Aviation manufactures electric vertical takeoff

In January 2024, Walmart (NYSE:WMT) announced it was conducting a 3-for-1 stock split which was executed in February. This was the tenth stock split in the company’s history. That is leading some investors to wonder if there are other stocks to watch for stock splits in 2024.   When a company splits its stock, it

Few stock sectors offer soar-or-sink possibilities like biotechnology stocks do. If you’re in the market for an intriguing biotech pick and can manage high risk, take a look at Actinium Pharmaceuticals (NYSEAMERICAN:ATNM)stock. Actinium Pharmaceuticals develops targeted radiotherapies for refractory cancer cases. By “refractory,” I mean that Actinium Pharmaceuticals focuses on helping patients meaningfully improve their

There are some sectors poised for gains that investors should keep on their radars. These sectors could grow as much as 20 times. Furthermore, I believe that this is a conservative estimate based on analyst projections. I think that these sectors are relatively untapped. Some are more well-known and the growth story is obvious. While

Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW), which specializes in software for cloud-based data warehousing, was recently overvalued. I tried to warn investors about Snowflake’s trailing price-to-earnings ratio and suggested that SNOW stock was vulnerable to a pullback. That pullback came to pass, but it’s still not the right time to take a share position. Sure, Snowflake as an artificial intelligence

The extraordinary rise of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) was driven by the emergence of generative AI. This technology hinges on the use of powerful computer chips in which the stock is a market leader.  Last year, the S&P 500 climbed an impressive 24%. However, the outlook for 2024 is a little calmer. Goldman Sachs forecasts a rise

It’s been a rough ride for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock lately. It has become the worst year-to-date performer in the S&P 500 index. These developments may discourage some, others may see a buying opportunity. Don’t assume it’s the right time to invest. The factors driving its poor performance are likely to persist in the months ahead.

Everyone might be talking about the stock performance of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) last year but Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) stock blew away the chipmaker. SMCI stock is up 1,200% compared to the measly tripling in value by Nvidia.  The manufacturer of servers, networks, storage solutions, workstations and more optimized for artificial intelligence (AI) has gotten an
